As you can see, the music is great and the dancing looks like a lot of fun. When exercise is fun, you don’t feel like you’re exercising at all which is probably why so many people really enjoy this workout. The cool thing about these types of workouts is that you don’t have to be the best dancer around to do them. So long as you follow the routines the best that you can, you’re going to still burn a lot of calories.
